An ebony handled Tetonomy knife
Forceps with tenaculum points
An ebony handled Iridectomy knife
An ebony handled Probe
A mahogany Bougie
A Nasal Speculum
Tenaculum forceps
Silver Tracheotomy diluting tube and cannula
Two glass bottles with brass caps

Medical items such as these were made to the highest quality standards as cost was not the main factor and they were necessarily made in small numbers and so are becoming increasingly rare.
Field Surgical Set, mid 19th century, very rare.
